how is the radio quality

I have used the radio only once or twice and the quality is pretty good depending on where you are. This little set lives in my kitchen full time and I use it mainly to watch TV.

To be honest, I have never listen to the radio since I bought the TV. I use and watch the television and here in Atlanta, Ga I have perfect reception of both picture and tv sound.

I found the sound quality lacking. I would recommend buying the Baofeng 888s - you get a MUCH better radio and a ton of accessories for half the price.

When we can pick up a signal, the sound quality is excellent. There are certain times of the day when the radio cannot pick up or hold a signal. I don't know if it's the radio or how far we are from the radio towers. We are in rural, South Central Alaska. This is the second of the radio type we have owned. The first one was definitely better at holding a signal but again, that was in Analog signal days.

Reception is excellent in my area (I live in the city with tons of interference). The battery lasts around 5-6 hours on mp4 playback. Never had it solely on radio

The radio FM reception is very good. This is the third waterproof radio I have had and it is by far the best.

Yes, it is. You tune it by turning the knobs and reception is good. It' not heavy.

Better audio quality and durability. Good radio for the money, get a aftermarket antenna, stock is not so good.

Yes. Mine is incredibly finicky. The FM is so sensitive that it takes me a few min to tune stations. The AM is rock solid. I do think it needs to be fixed though, it shouldn't be that hard to tune in a station like the one I'm trying to get. I have a Sangean digital radio and it gets everything just fine.

The radio records mp3's. As far as complaints regarding noise, I don't have that problem, in fact I would have to categorize this as the clearest sounding radio I have ever owned. I wonder if some of the problems that people have are due to the enviroment in which they are using their radios.

Good but not top quality like you would get from a stereo system. I do enjoy this radio a lot. Did not regret buying it.

The AM and FM reception is very good with the use of the Shark Antenna. I'm pleased with it.

I only use mine at home and around town and have good reception. Have not traveled very far with it yet.

It is good. I suppose it depends on the area you live in. I gave this radio to my 90 yr old mother and she is thrilled with it. In her area, Central New Jersey, she gets good reception from fm stations in NY, Phil, and Princeton.

I would say it has better than average reception of am/fm stations. It comes with external fm antenna and it's internal am antenna is vary good.

It says it is, but I don't believe it. There's all sorts of station interference, fading and station overlap. The radio isn't worth buying for a dollar. Get something else. I have Sansas and the FM capability is excellent.

Not that I'm aware of, but that would be great. The radio is fantastic. I'm getting stations I'd never gotten clearly before. It was a big investment for me, but glad I took the plunge.

I am amazed by the quality of the FM reception...when I can get it. Unfortunately where I work (which is why I got the item in the first place), I get only very few stations due to interference by building/steel, etc. I've not tried the record feature.
